Later today Ginnie's nearest and dearest will be holding a memorial service at the home she shared with Grahame in Puerto Plata.

For those like me who cannot be there, here is a slide show in her memory that shows her many passions and talents, and her indomitable joie de vivre:

I was planning to be there.

This is a great idea, thanks.

I am planning to be there, but as I write the heavens are showing due respect for Ginnie and putting on a terrific performance.

As I'm limited to public transport, I wonder if anyone passing through Sosua might have space in a vehicle for two people. I will get there through hell and high water, but I might arrive a bit less bedraggled if I don't have to use a motoconcho at the other end!

If you can help, please PM me

Many thanks.

Linda.

Thanks for sharing.

She was quite a looker. A very beautiful woman. We definitely lost a treasure.

May she rest in peace and may God bless you Bushbaby.

Glad you all liked it, but I didn't prepare the slideshow, I just posted it on behalf of Grahame. :)

Thank you for sharing this lovely tribute, Grahame. I am sorry I can't be there today, but thanks to this I can sit here at work in Boston and feel like I am there. God bless, and I hope the rain lets up.

about the afternoon so will not repeat it here. I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to all who attended & made this such a wonderful send off for 'The Old Girl'!

Bless you all for coming, Bless you for making the afternoon so full of laughter & good memories & Bless you for carrying on the tradition of using such get-togethers as a means to opening up to other people! I hope you all enjoyed the afternoon as much as I did! ~ Grahame.

still fascinated from the Look in those Eyes,
straight on pointed to what ever they Choose to Aim on,
the Look of a real Sailor through the Waters of Life,
against any Odds and Thunders,
those Eyes will break through any Storm and reach their Destin.
I will kepp an Eye on the Spray of Her Ship.
She is still Sailing and for ever will,
and I will always give My best to stay in that Wake through the Thunders of Life.

A real Lady,
simplemente Maravilloso.

Ohmg I didn't know. I was thinking to write to Ginnie last week. I regret not doing so at the time.

Dear Ginnie was one the greatest women I had ever known. She was a blessing to a lot of us.

I'm sure she is very happy looking down on us. We will miss you!!!

Mixed emotions

Many, many thanks for the link to YouTube and the chance to see the slideshow. Ginnie was something else in years gone by, wasn't she?
I watched it with a mixture of laughter, tears and wide eyed amazement at some of the outfits! Typical Ginnie and Grahame.

Gone, but never, never to be forgotten.

Simply beautiful!

Grahame, this tribute is simply beautiful.... more so than I can express. Thank you for sharing it with us. It brought out my happy tears as I could feel the spirit of your darling Ginnie with every frame. She was a gorgeous, precious soul, inside and out. (And I absolutely love her hair!)

God bless you Grahame. I feel blessed that I met your beloved Ginnie. I also loved reading her book. Take care.
